Thanks everyone! I am encouraged!
janettravels44, Thank you for your response, your rabbit in mustard sauce recipe sounds delicious! I realize bread with meals is essential in French cuisine, if you cannot find her a GF baguette, perhaps your friend might like rice or potatoes instead. I have a difficult time finding GF crackers in the US too, depending on the state. I will probably bring a small package with me for my flight and emergencies.
KimberlySEA, Great idea about using the Fork app! I haven’t tried that one yet.
JoLui, Thank you for the organic Bayeux bakery. I will check it out when we are staying there. And thanks for the tip on “bio stores” I have never heard of that, grateful to know that.
Janet, Thank you! I will check out The Real Emily in Paris.
gord.smoker and khsdc, Thank you for the reminder about Wheatless Wanderlust. I forgot about them! I used them on a trip to BC Canada, they’re great for GF and also lots of good travel advise. I looked and they have a complete guide updated in 2025. I will get into it!
khsdc, Have a great trip!
Siesta, Chambelland GF bakery is on my must do list now! Thanks!
Judy, Breizh Café is also now on my must do list, thank you. I went to their website and it looks lovely. I am so looking forward to galettes. Buckwheat is GF!
KGC, I have heard this too! I have read that the wheat used in Europe is often soft winter wheat. It may also have something to do with the different processing methods in France. I would imagine they don’t use as many additives like dough conditioners and preservatives to extend the shelf life as in the US. I would not try eating it if I was diagnosed celiac. I may have an occasional bite here and there.
